This jacket has that issue but only very slightly. It's more pronounced in the size 8. But I can't wear a petite size top unless it's sleeveless, and then it's often *too* short in the body, and definitely much too short in the sleeve. </p> <p>The "button" on this jacket is actually a snap -- it could be moved relatively easily if I wanted to wear it closed. But I almost always wear blazers opened anyway. I also realized after I took the pictures that the model on the Nordstrom site has the sleeves scrunched, which I would be likely to do as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn/page/2#post-1146200 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 04:06:20 +0000 Neel 1146200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep !!!

It's not bad buttoned, just a little more ordinary looking. It almost looks to me like the waist is in a slightly different spot from where it should be...I get the same kind of gapping and pulling when I try on misses' clothes instead of petites'. Do people ever move buttons on blazers? Would that help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1146148 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 03:13:02 +0000 Anonymous 1146148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this for you! &nbsp;And how did I miss kitty adoption news??? &nbsp;Clearly I need to catch up on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1146145 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 03:08:58 +0000 carambola 1146145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the jacket and pants look fantastic!

Will add that where you see hips I see unimaginably tiny waist - your eyes go to what bothers you but my eyes go to what I can only dream of! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1146123 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 02:48:11 +0000 Echo 1146123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops.

And I prefer the 6, and I don't even mind it buttoned. I have to agree that I love the exaggerated hourglass from the back. Fabulous jacket, and the pants look fab, too, from what I can tell (dark, so kind of hard to see well). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1146121 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 02:47:23 +0000 rae 1146121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEEP!

Janet is adopting baggy pants - the sky is falling down!<br />They are flattering in the pictures (but I wear them all the time so my eyes have adjusted).<br />I missed the post about the kitty - congratulation on the extending the family! It is so sweet of Mr Janet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145937 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 22:59:18 +0000 Kristin L 1145937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the 6 on you!

I am glad you are going to keep these. I think you will enjoy them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145534 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 16:17:58 +0000 April 1145534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saying "I concur" sounds so feeble after you've heard Angie's verdict (kind of like, in Mark Twain's words, "the difference between&nbsp;<i>lightning</i> and&nbsp;<i>lightning bug"</i>) &nbsp;but there you have it. &nbsp;The 6, unbuttoned.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145491 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:48:27 +0000 Elizabeth P 1145491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup.&nbsp; The 6.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145478 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:38:18 +0000 Angie 1145478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed. Go with the 6 and keep the blazer unbuttoned.&nbsp;</p> <p>Janet, the pants<b> DO</b> look great in the photos - and that's what you saw in the mirror. Remember that you are<i> highly sensitized</i> to your hip and thigh area on camera, which affects your judgement.&nbsp;</p> <p>And can we PLEASE bless the length of those pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145436 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:17:00 +0000 Janet 1145436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, the pants are really comfortable and feel great. And it's funny, I think they look pretty great in the mirror, but I'm less fond of them in photos. Maybe because drape is easier seen in motion. I'll have to play with them some more, but I'm inclined to keep them. They are very similar to the patterned slouchy pants from last summer that I enjoyed so much, and the navy blue ones. Can you believe I now have 3 pairs of this style? I expect I'll enjoy them even more in the warmer months, although I suppose I could wear them now with tights underneath for warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145432 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:13:41 +0000 Janet 1145432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the 8 unbuttoned front and back -- I think it's a little too much fabric all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145410 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:01:22 +0000 Angie 1145410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it too, and am hugging Mr. Janet for being so fab. (I'm touched that he adopted a kitty for the TX ranch).&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think the blazer&nbsp;works buttoned, but it's killer unbuttoned. Perhaps try a size up too, just to be safe. The trousers are spectacular. A brilliant look for you.&nbsp;How do you feel in them?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145409 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 1145409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a really neat jacket!

I actually love the exaggerated hourglass shape from the back; it's so cool that it's hourglassy without being bombshelly. If I wasn't fairly certain it would be way too long for me, I would try it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145398 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:56:00 +0000 April 1145398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would actually like to see the 8 as well -- could you post a photo of that one? &nbsp;And yes, a photo from the back with the jacket open, as EP suggested.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Very interested in this thread because I adore this jacket. &nbsp;I've decided to live vicariously since I really, really don't need any more statement jackets, but I'll be watching the comments closely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-recommended-blazer---yn#post-1145382 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:48:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1145382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it Janet, but I do prefer it unbuttoned.&nbsp; In fact, I love it unbuttoned. Can you take a back view with it unbuttoned?<br />I think the fit of this one is good, in terms of size. </p>
